entry description
Marigolds in a blue pot in the evening light, Stankov, West Bohemia, Czech Republic. A part of the long term photoseries The Magic Garden, which I shoot in my parents' garden, where I grew up 50 years ago. The photographs are taken in the light of the setting sun using the ICM technique.about the photographer
I´m a self-taugh photographer originally from the Pilsen region (West of the Czech Republic), now living in Dobrichovice near Prague. I have been involved in photography since childhood, first only with B&W and home-made photos, later with color and infrared pictures. I have been exhibiting publicly since 2013. I try to make visible what is often not seen at first glance, so called “pictures from behind-the-light”. I like using of the very long exposure times in various areas of the spectrum and non-traditional work with lenses. In the last three years, my photographs have been shown at joint international exhibitions and in foreign photographic magazines.back to gallery
